This is a question posted by Nikhil Bale from the Dadar evening batch.Is the usage of double negation in the sentence grammatically correct.
As per standard English usage it is incorrect on the grounds of redundancy.The logic being where there is a not we do not require the word nothing.
Though this usage is quite common in movies and novels it would be inappropriate to use this in formal communication.
The correct sentence would be : I know nothing./I don't know anything.
Be a budding etymologist,come fall in love with words and the English language
Difference between Corporal and Corporeal i'm getting super confused because their definitions in the dictionary are almost similar.can you also help by putting those words in a sentence so that they could make more sense?
